Comment
Struck in the Byzantine coinage system with 1 solidus nomisma = 288 folli.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Follis - Sergio I ND (840-864) from Duchy of Naples (Italian States) made of Copper weighing 7.0 g is that it features an image of King Sergius I on one side and an image of the Madonna and Child on the other. This coin was minted during the reign of King Sergius I, who ruled the Duchy of Naples from 840 to 864 AD. The coin's design reflects the religious and political influences of the time, with the king's image representing the secular authority and the Madonna and Child representing the religious beliefs of the population.
